    One can eat meat without celebrating that an animal had to die to get it. The celebration just makes you look like a serial killer…

          I would argue that looking at a live animal and saying it looks tasty is normal, especially compared with other omnivores and carnivores. Looking at a processed hamburger and saying the same thing is much less natural IMO

            Would you taste a living farm animal? When I used to eat meat, even then hell no. All dirt, fur, hooves and shit. I’m vegan and even I understand why butchers exist

            If you want to limit this to what’s “natural”, you had better be eating all your meat raw. Saying a live animal looks tasty makes it sound like you want to eat it alive.

      Are you an animal? Yes. Do lions fucking mourn their kill?no that’d make them insane. It’s crazy to feel bad about being a natural predator lol!

        Do lions make videos saying “Yummy, yummy” about their prey? No, so it’s kind of a bad metaphor.

        There’s nothing wrong with respecting the animals you eat, and we should always treat animals as well as we can, especially if we eat them. It could be argued that the video kinda undermines that message, so I kinda agree that it was a bad joke.

          Lions dont have cameras, can’t make words, and don’t have the ability to reason.

          You’re kind of unintentionally proving why eating animals is non big deal. They’re fundamentally lesser beings.

            I didn’t say eating animals was bad. I said we should have respect for animals we eat, specifically because we have to kill it to eat it.
